1 pound yellow summer squash
10 tablespoons (1 stick + 2 tablespoons) butter (melted)

  • Let cool in the muffin tins slightly before removing to a wire rack. Delicious when warm or at room temperature. These are also very good eaten the next day.

Categories     Home

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1-1/2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese (12 oz.), softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
4 tsp. vanilla, divided
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
2 large eggs
1-1/3 cups granulated sugar
3 cups packed grated yellow squash (about 2 large squash)
1 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and 2 tsp. vanilla until light and fluffy. Spoon into a piping bag. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • MAKE THE MUFFINS
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt together and reserve.
  • Mix the eggs, granulated sugar, grated squash, vegetable oil and remaining 2 tsp. vanilla until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until incorporated. (Do not over mix.)
  • Scoop the batter into 16 greased muffin pan cups, completely filling each cup.
  • Bake on the middle rack 20 to 25 min. or until the muffins are golden brown and the tops of the muffins bounce back when you press on them. (Test with a bamboo skewer to make sure the centers of the muffins are done.)
  • Cool the muffins for 5 min., then remove the muffins from the pan to a wire rack and let them cool another 20 min.
  • Use an apple corer to remove the centers of the muffins; fill centers of muffins with the cream cheese frosting. Pipe a rosette onto the top of each muffin with the remaining cream cheese mixture. Reserve the removed muffin cores for snacking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for small, firm summer squash with bright yellow skin. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Shred the squash properly: Use a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment to shred the squash. Be sure to grate the squash finely, so that it blends well into the muffin batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups properly: Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. Overfilling the cups will cause the muffins to rise over the edges and bake unevenly.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: Bake the muffins at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Yellow summer squash muffins are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With their moist texture and sweet flavor, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new way to use up your summer squash, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
